[spectre] (fwd) call of projects IDENSITAT 07
(as always: attachments and formatting deleted - keep it in plain-text; ab) Hello spectre, I send you information about the call of projects of IDENSITAT 07, that's open till November the 15th. IDENSIAT is a public art program that takes place at a net of towns near Barcelona; I wish that you be interested in it to distribute through your mailing list. Otherwise I don't know if there are some requirements to do it or if we have to pay any taxes. If there are, please inform us about. For further information, http://www.idensitat.org/www.idensitat.org Thanks for all, Oriol Fontdevila IDENSITAT 07 http://www.idensitat.org/www.idensitat.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENSITAT 07 HOME / AWAY Call for projects open until November the 15th, 2006. www.idensitat.org IDENSITAT 07 starts its fourth edition calling for projects. It is addressed to artists who offer proposals in the field of public space, from a multidisciplinary perspective and having the will of interacting in the social space of the territory where the project is promoted. IDENSITAT is a programme developed biannually with the aim of offering mechanisms for the structuring of creative projects in the field of public space and that are related to the territory. Since 1999 a series of projects and activities have been done in the town of Calaf, and progressively other relations have been established with more towns, with the aim of allowing the development of projects that can be adapted to the own and multiple specificities arising out from the singularity of a place. IDENSITAT 07, just like in the previous edition, takes place in two towns of the Barcelona province, Calaf and Manresa, and moreover expands the territorial network with the development of a project in the town of Mataró, supported by Can Xalant. TERRITORIES IN PROCESS IDENSITAT 07 is conceived as an observatory of the territory and a laboratory for the development of projects, offering the opportunity to intervene in an active way in the urban processes, precisely when there is a phenomenon of expansion and growth, as well as a redefining of the identities that characterise them. The aim is to favour a field of action, experimentation and debate, which started in the previous edition of the programme (IDENSITAT 05). Considering the moment of intense urban evolution going on now in Calaf, Manresa and Mataró, the participants must articulate certain artistic activities which include critical, analytic and propositional regards that can involve certain groups of population; or that permit formulating alternative proposals at the same time, so that it is possible to perceive, face and participate in the urban processes taking place in a specific moment. CALLING FOR PROJECTS The call IDENSITAT 07 is structured around two categories of presentation, having each different goals and characteristics. One points to the production of projects and the other one for already implemented proposals (documentary projects). HOME / AWAY is the motto chosen for a possible project development based on the tension between the two concepts: the belonging to a territory, the identity issues, the long-term cultural structuring, etc; being opposed or related to the superficial, distant, curious and less engaged regard, the tourist experience, or others which could be stated thanks to the projects emerging in this call. PRODUCTION OF PROJECTS linked to a place and activated through procedural strategies and strategies of cooperation with social groups; or with projects intervening specifically or incisively in the public space of these different towns, existing the possibility of using the infrastructure and means already available in the territory. PROJECTS OF DOCUMENTATION. This category gathers those works developed in other contexts, thus promoting their diffusion and linking them to different activities of debate, exposition and edition organised by IDENSITAT. SELECTION COMMITTEE. The selection committee of this call will be constituted by Santiago Cirugeda, architect and artist; Amanda Cuesta, independent curator; Alicia Murria, art critic and director of the magazine ARTECONTEXTO; Ramon Parramon, director of IDENSITAT; Lorenzo Romito, architect and member of STALKER. ECONOMIC ENDOWMENT. The economic endowment destined to each selected project in the section PRODUCTION OF PROJECTS will be determined by its budget, having available a maximum amount of 11,000 ¤. In reference to the DOCUMENTATION PROJECTS, the economic endowment might depend on the presentation format of the project; having available a maximum of 1,500 ¤. The deadline for this call of projects is November the 15th, 2006.

[spectre] scoll--40 years of visual narrive--by tjebbe van tijen
Scroll 40 years of visual narrative Tjebbe van Tijen OPENING September 15 at 17.00 hrs Mediamatic shows an overview of the beautiful layered image rolls/ scrolls of Tjebbe van Tijen. Back in the sixties, Van Tijen took part in the development a method to use integrated images and text strips to document social and political realities. He would comment on events which would take place in his direct environment. To this day he uses panoramic horizontal scrolls and vertical banners in the tradition of the classic Greek/Roman and East Asian culture. These scrolls visualize complex and layered subjects in a comprehensive manner while maintaining their narrative structure. This in contrast to the often used computer presentation program Powerpoint which pushes the previous image out of sight with each change of slide. This exhibition is about portraying the tremendous historic value and beauty of an oeuvre which has been in the making for decennia. The work does not only take the viewer on a journey down memory lane, but also opens a source of social, political and artistic subjects in our contemporary and dominant image culture. http://www.mediamatic.net/artefact-12226-en.html?lang=en September 15 - October 22, 2006 Location: Mediamatic, Post CS Gebouw, ground floor, Amsterdam __ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://coredump.buug.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
